Rittenhouse Rye

Why we love this tipple

“Experience the rich, robust character of Rittenhouse Rye, a quintessential American rye whisky that captures the spirit of tradition with a modern twist. This whisky delivers a distinctive profile, perfect for those who appreciate the bold and dusty notes that define a classic rye. On the nose, Rittenhouse Rye offers the quintessential dusty rye aroma, mingling with pine sawdust and the sweet simplicity of tinned fruit salad. There’s a delightful blend of peaches in honey, light caramel, and a touch of banana, all rounded off with a comforting hint of malt loaf. The palate is where this rye truly shines—caramel and banana leaf are at the forefront, followed by the warming spices of five spice and star anise. Leather and green capsicum add a layer of complexity, while a subtle note of furniture polish hints at its maturity and depth. The finish is long and memorable, with woody undertones, a gentle smokiness, and a lingering peachy sweetness that keeps you coming back for more. Rittenhouse Rye is a must-have for rye enthusiasts looking for a whisky that delivers both traditional and nuanced flavours—a timeless classic with a twist.”
